Jail records said Turner struck a woman about the head and face and then stabbed her in the left chest and shoulder area with a knife, leaving her lying wounded and unconscious as he left the apartment building.

When police arrived, he threw the knife over a garage in the rear of the apartment complex, the jail records said, noting that the knife landed on the other side of the garage and in a trash can.

Police said he also threw his bloody shirt, which contained the victim's blood, over a fence in the 600 block of Park Avenue SW.

Turner was arrested and jailed on charges of felonious assault, felony evidence tampering and domestic violence.

Turner was already on parole, having been released from prison about two months ago.

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website said he was released from prison Aug. 25 after serving time for carrying a concealed weapon, felony evidence tampering and having weapons under disability.

Stark County court records show he also went to prison in 2002 for escape and in 2005 for disrupting public services and trespassing.

He remained in the jail early Friday, held in lieu of $110,000 bond pending a hearing in Canton Municipal Court.
